Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime wont finish installing?

I hope this sort of question is accepted here.

I'm currently trying to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime and it's getting stuck near the end, with the text, "Processing: Windows81_x64" and it never progresses beyond that.

I have indeed uninstalled the 2015 Visual C++ files (though I have a lot of older versions still installed). No further Windows updates are available.

I'm at a loss, and I certainly hope someone can help! Thanks for reading, in any case.

Solution

  • Windows 81_x64 is a file for Windows 8.1, so the first thing I'd do is verify that you're running Windows 8.1. If not, go back to the VS download page and download the right version.
